3 days ago · Description. Venera 1 (Automatic Interplanetary Station) was the first spacecraft to fly by Venus. The probe consisted of a cylindrical body topped by a dome, totaling 2.035 meters in height, 1.050 meters in diameter, with a fueled mass of 643.5 kg. Two solar panels, with a total area of 2 square meters, extended radially from the cylinder.
